Welcome to the Scraps to Treasures Inspired by Color Blog hop. Our goal here at Scraps to Treasures is to use our scraps to create beautiful cards, layouts, or other projects. It also gives us a chance to clean out those overflowing scrap bins!

This month we are using our scraps to create a project using the colors inspired by this photo:

The project I created is this New Years card:

BLOG CANDY ALERT: I am offering Blog Candy. There is a Scrappy Grab Bag that you could win just for commenting on each blog in the hop. I will be choosing a winner on December 26th.

I will also have more details after the holidays on my blog about the changes that are coming and a possible DT call.

I chose to use the middle row going down (distressing, blue and buttons) to make my card.

For my project I did end up making a card with my scraps. Here it is:

If you just happened to drop in, please start at the beginning with Lissa Marie's blog so you don't miss any of the creativity and inspiration along the way.

For our craft this month, we were to make an item to reflect a Birthday or Celebration. I chose to make this birthday banner which I also used my scraps for! Two-for-one idea!

Here is a close up of the sentiment on the banner:

This was such a fun and easy banner to create. I will post later the instructions for making one for yourself.
